Summer Flowers 2010

by Henrik (13/03/10) Email

The project is in full swing. I have started to cultivate four more flowers, French Marigolds, Moonflowers, Sensitive Plant and Scarlet Sage. Two flowers I tried before and two new ones. The Sensitive Plant is more of a indoors plant, so I will keep some of them indoors and some on the balcony. The Scarlet Sage is a gamble. It's not suppose to be on a balcony with strong sun, but maybe it will survive if I place it on the ground in the shade.

I started with putting all the seed on moist tissue paper and sealing them in plastic boxes.

Within a week the French Marigolds started to grow, so I quickly move them over to soil. I also noted that a few of the Sensitive Plant and Scarlet Sage seeds had sprouted very thin white roots (or had started to mold), so I moved a couple of the seeds over to soil. I did it because I feared that if I moved them later I would just damage their roots (or they all would become attacked by mold).

The Moonflowers are late starters (as usual) and are still in their plastic bin.
